Long Time Franklin User - but not anymore February 19, 2008
N. Berkery (Detroit, USA)
The bottom line is this software stinks. It is incredibly slow - to the point where it cannot be used and it looks like there was zero QA done before the product was shipped.
I have been a long time fan of Franklin products. From the old days of using the paper planners to the first gen of electronic Franklin Planner for the Palm Pilot. I loved the task manager, quick prioitizing and planning tools etc. They made my life so easy. But this latest product is just plain junk. I have tried and tried to make this product work over many painful months with several chat sessions with tech support. But it is just too painful - and so so slow. I have now given up and am moving on.
My advice:
To customers: Do not buy this product!
To FranklinCovey: Take this product off the market. It is killing your fine reputation.

As a fan of Stephen Covey and the Franklin Planner, but an avid laptop user, I thought this product would be great. What it was was a nightmare that finally resulted in my computer crashing, all my data being lost, and a rather rude Covey employee informing me that this can happen, and they do not have a fix for it, and cannot refund my money. They then eagerly told me to purchase a different version of their product (which they gave me a discount on), and he gave me his assurance that this version was more stable (the Outlook add in version). This version wiped out years of history and corrupted the files in my Outlook. Upon calling Franklin Covey again, I was told that if I had experienced so many problems with the orgininal version, why had I gone and purchased another one. Needless to say, I am putting "First things first" and practicing one of the "7 habits of ripped off consumers", and using my First Amendment rights to try and prevent others from being bamboozled by a company that has released a product for standard consumption without testing, and without a plan to back up a failed product. Do not buy this product.

I really like the approach to planning and prioritizing that Franklincovey have embedded in their planplus for Outlook. Unfortunately, this software is completely unusable if your goal is to be productive. I'm running outlook 2007 and Vista Ultimate, and planplus crashes almost every time I look at the calendar, or if I add a task. Sometimes I wait it out and occassionally 10 min later outlook unfreezes.
Don't waste hours of you life with this poorly developed and horribly tested application - it is the #1 "loss of productivity" solution. In Covey-speak, this is a quadrant 4 activity - not urgent and not important. Don't waste your time trying this out just to come to the same conclusion.
Absolutly terrible December 29, 2006

This software is a mess. It couldn't have possible been tested. The software crashes constantly and has to be re-installed (including going through a RESEDIT procedure). The crashes come constantly when doing the most mundane things like adding a task to a project --- useless software, stay away.
Shame on Franklin Covey! September 28, 2006

First review I have ever posted. I have used PlanPlus for Outlook for years, prior versions were a little buggy and I just made do without synching the Covey data to my Palms over the years. So I thought the new version 4.0 would fix all this. After 6 hours of work on my part, I have given up and reverted to version 3.0. Version 4.0 is so full of bugs that you are constantly interrupted with weird error messages, and it seems to make a worse hash of synching to Palm devices than the previous ones. It is hard to beleive that a reputable firm like FC would release this, and even worse, once you look at how long people have been criticizing the product on various web sites, even more amazing that they haven't bothered to release an amended version.
